Accessible Summer Travel: Ideal Mobility Scooters
When it comes to being able to enjoy your summer break, getting around easily is paramount to the enjoyment of your trip. It means less hassle moving from place to place, and also meaning you’re able to do more on your trip too. One of the best ways to get around is through a mobility scooter, and there are a range of different models that have features beneficial to accessible travel during the summer. So what are the features, and what can you find through Multicare Mobility?
Ideal Features of a Mobility Scooter
A mobility scooter is an ideal way to get around with high levels of independence. Electric mobility scooters allow you to be in control, without having to exert physical effort like a wheelchair would, nor do you require anyone to push you around.
When it comes to accessible travel, both during summer on your holiday and generally all year round, there are a number of features you’ll want to look out for when deciding which models are best for the job. The first comes down to size. If it is possible, the smaller the mobility scooter is, the better it is for transporting. You of course don’t want to impact on comfort, but you also don’t want to add unnecessary bulk and weight to your scooter through choosing a larger luxury model.
Depending on your budget, you may be after a mobility scooter specifically for travelling, or you may be after a versatile model that doubles up as your daily runaround. Whichever your circumstance is, your first port of call should be looking at the range of lightweight electric mobility scooters available. They will usually be made out of aluminium, which means they’re very lightweight but also durable too.
In addition to this, to make a mobility scooter very easy to transport, lift and carry around; you may want to explore the number of foldable, collapsible and detachable mobility scooters available. In addition to lifting and carrying, having a foldable lightweight mobility scooter allows you to fit it in even the smallest of cars, meaning that bringing your mobility scooter to the beach can be made extremely easy.
Plane Travel With Mobility Scooters
If you’re travelling to your holiday by plane, then you may not have to worry as much about weight and size as the airline would take care of storage and any heavy-lifting. However, before you travel you should check that the airline you’re travelling with does accept mobility scooters on board, ensuring it can be safely stored for a hassle-free and stress-free journey.
